MRC Ghana 2027 takes place on Friday 19 and Saturday 20 February 2027 in Accra, Ghana. The venue will be announced once confirmed.

MRC Ghana 2027 is organised in Ghana by The MakersPlace. The Minoan RobotSports Competition is an international programme of the Hellenic Educational Robotics Organization (H.E.R.O.) in Greece.

To be announced. The official programme for both days will be published on the Programme page once it has been approved.

Seven sports are on the MRC Ghana 2027 programme: Drones, Drone Soccer 3×3, Marathon, Football 3×3, Shooting, Archery and Exhibition. Each has its own page with a summary and a link to the official H.E.R.O. rules.

Participation is based on age, not school class. For the six sports with published rules, all team members must be at least 10 years old and are placed in age categories (for example Kids 10–12, Teens/Senior 12+–18 and Adults 18+; Marathon also separates Teens 12+–15 and Senior 15+–18). Ages are counted on 19 February 2027, the first day of the competition. Exhibition eligibility is awaiting official rules.

For the sports with published rules, teams have 2 to 3 members plus a coach aged 20 or over. Drone Soccer 3×3 and Football 3×3 are played in alliances of three teams, which the official rules say should come from the same school or institution.

The official MRC rules allow a team to enter several sports, with one robot per sport. Please confirm Ghana-specific arrangements when registering.

Use the Register a Team button. It takes you to the official MRC Ghana 2027 registration application, where you sign in with your email, add your organisation, team and robot details, and submit an expression of interest. The MakersPlace then reviews each entry against the current H.E.R.O. rules and contacts you.

Registration closes on 15 January 2027. Registration fees are to be announced and will be published here and in the registration application once approved by the organisers.

Participant information is collected only through the official registration application. Website enquiry forms do not ask for children's personal details. See our Privacy page for more.

Every sport page links to its official H.E.R.O. rules page and offers a downloadable information sheet. The official H.E.R.O. rules always take precedence over our summaries.

Yes. Every robot or drone is checked against its category's specifications before competing, and teams may be asked to explain their design and program. Inspection arrangements for MRC Ghana 2027 will be announced with the programme.

Ghana took part in the 2025 MRC Global Olympiad in Crete. The 2027 Global Olympiad takes place on 23–26 April 2027 in Chania, Crete, Greece. Any progression from Ghana depends on official eligibility, the national selection arrangements, compliance with the rules and any international places confirmed. Winning a Ghana category does not by itself guarantee selection.

No. Selection does not include flights, accommodation, international registration fees or sponsorship unless this is separately confirmed in writing.
